CMT has all sorts of possible issues for the shop.What happens if the buyer brings in too little cloth? Lousy quality? What happens if an accident happens and you ruin the customers cloth?When you place your label on something either you care about everything including the cloth or you don't really care about anything.So I'd wonder why would a shop that feels it's reputation has some value do CMT?

$2K AUD is what less then €1500? So three suits with an average of €500. You're either buying at the outlets and hoping to find something in staple colours and paterns. Or you're buying crappy quality in the normal shops.
If end of the year you mean pre Christmas you won't even be here for the sale season. Of course with the economy sales seem to be happening...
